The Nigerian Bar Association has debunked a report which states that ECNBA chair, Prof Auwalu Yadudu has resigned.

In a press release signed by the General Secretary of the Bar, Mr. Aare Isiaka Abiola Olagunju, and dated the 16th day of August, 2018, the NBA affirmed that Mr. Yadudu remains the Chairman of the Electoral Committee.

It further added that the Committee is committed in conducting a free and fair election.

PRESS RELEASE: PROFESSOR AUWALU YADUDU REMAINS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE ECNBA

The attention of the Nigerian Bar Association has been drawn to an online media report by the ‘TheNigeriaLawyer’ on 6th August, 2018, that the Chairman of the Electoral Committee of the NBA (ECNBA) Professor Auwalu Yadudu has resigned.

It is quite unfortunate that the report was not only built on falsehood but constitute an act of forgery.

The official letterhead of the NBA and the Signature of the Chairman of the ECNBA were forged in that publication. The entire content of the publication is false.

The NBA will ensure that this publication that is perpetrated to disrupt the ongoing electoral process to the extent of forging the NBA official letterhead and signature of the Chairman of ECNBA are investigated.

We therefore wish to state that Professor Auwalu Yadudu and the members of the ECNBA are committed towards ensuring a credible, free and fair election.

We further implore all members of the Association to desist from publishing contents and/or taking steps that will disrupt the electoral process but rather cooperate with the ECNBA in ensuring a credible, free and fair election.

Thank you

Aare Isiaka Abiola Olagunju
General Secretary
Dated 6th August, 2018
